Something strange is happening in Apple Valley... ...and it all begins one night when ten-year-old Jimmy sees a mysterious object crash to Earth. Investigating, he finds an alien bearing a dire warning. A sinister force is on its way to take over the planet. Already its minions are infecting Apple Valley like a virus. But all is not lost.

His quest to annihilate evil leads him to cities overrun with strange robots and hostile animals, to spooky cemeteries where things claw their way from the ground, and to a carnival that should've been shut down years ago for safety violations.

What no one back on earth knows, though, is that life on the moon is nowhere near as exciting as it sounds.

But when Dr. Ronald Holtz turns up dead--he went onto the lunar surface without his helmet properly affixed--Dash senses there's foul play afoot. The problem is, no one believes him. But when Dash finds out Dr. Holtz was on to an important new discovery, he wonders who might not want his secret to get out.

Souvenir by Philip K. Dick - A hideous nightmare seemed the culture of Williamson's World–to men who knew nothing of beauty.
'Here we go, sir,' the robot pilot said. The words startled Rogers and made him look up sharply. He tensed his body and adjusted the trace web inside his coat as the bubble ship started dropping, swiftly and silently, toward the planet's surface,
This–his heart caught–was Williamson's World. The legendary lost planet–found, after three centuries. By accident, of course. This blue and green planet–the holy grail of the Galactic System, had been almost miraculously discovered by a routine charting mission.
Hal and Roger Hunt sink deep into danger when a specimen-collecting trip takes them into the lost world of the South Seas.

When it came to getting the two of us in trouble, Soup was a regular genius....Soup was my best pal. His real and righteous name was Luther Wesley Vinson, but nobody called him Luther. He didn't like it. I called him Luther just once, which promoted Soup to break me of a very bad habit before it really got formed. As soon as the swelling went out of my lip, I called him Soup instead of Thoop. Here are the stories of that friendship, and of the troubles--stories from a boyhood filled with barrels to roll in, apples to whip, windows to break, ropes to bind prisoners, acorn pepes, and ten-cent Saturday movies. But then as always nothing was quite as important as a best friend. Set in rural Vermont in the 1920s, Soup will delight listeners with its historical look at life back when. Recommended for Grades 5 and up.
